Culture Division Newsletter WINTER 2020 EDITION CULTURE DIVISION Interactive Newsletter Colmcille 1500 Commemorations St. Colmcille, also known as St. Columba, is one of Ireland's patron saints, a distinction that he shares with St. Patrick and St. Bridget. St. Colmcille was born in Gartan, County Donegal on December 7, 521 A.D. or 520 A.D. There are many sites associated with his life and many more that are dedicated to him. In 545 A.D., St. Colmcille founded his first monastery in Derry / Doire Cholm Cille. St. Colmcille and twelve monks sailed from Derry to the island of Iona in Scotland in 563 A.D. He died on Iona on June 9, 597 A.D. and his feast day is commemorated on that date every year. Donegal County Council and Derry City & Strabane District Council have projects and events planned to commemorate the 1500th anniversary of the birth of St. Colmcille between December 7, 2020 and December 7, 2021. The programme has been developed based on extensive consultation undertaken for the Audit of Columban Cultural Heritage by Abarta Heritage and commissioned by Donegal County Council, Derry City & Strabane District Council, Foras na Gaeilge and The St. Colmcille’s Chapel in Gartan is an archaeological Heritage Council as part of the implementation of the monument protected under the National Monuments County Donegal Heritage Plan.

  • Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    National Archives Church of Ireland Parish Registers SURROGATES This listing of Church of Ireland parochial records available in the National Archives is not a list of original parochial returns. Instead it is a list of transcripts, abstracts, and single returns. The Parish Searches consist of thirteen volumes of searches made in Church of Ireland parochial returns (generally baptisms, but sometimes also marriages). The searches were requested in order to ascertain whether the applicant to the Public Record Office of Ireland in the post-1908 period was entitled to an Old Age Pension based on evidence abstracted from the parochial returns then in existence in the Public Record Office of Ireland. Sometimes only one search – against a specific individual – has been recorded from a given parish. Multiple searches against various individuals in city parishes have been recorded in volume 13 and all thirteen volumes are now available for consultation on six microfilms, reference numbers: MFGS 55/1–5 and MFGS 56/1. Many of the surviving transcripts are for one individual only – for example, accessions 999/562 and 999/565 respectively, are certified copy entries in parish registers of baptisms ordered according to address, parish, diocese; or extracts from parish registers for baptismal searches. Many such extracts are for one individual in one parish only. Some of the extracts relate to a specific surname only – for example accession M 474 is a search against the surname ”Seymour” solely (with related names). Many of the transcripts relate to Church of Ireland parochial microfilms – a programme of microfilming which was carried out by the Public Record Office of Ireland in the 1950s.

  • Planning for Inclusion in County Donegal a Statistical Toolkit 2009
    DONEGAL COUNTY DEVELOPMENT BOARDS Planning For Inclusion In County Donegal A Statistical Toolkit 2009 Donegal County Development Board Bord Forbartha Chontae Dhún na nGall Foreword CHAIRMAN OF Donegal COUNTY Development Board Following a comprehensive review of Donegal County Development Board’s ‘An Straitéis’ in 2009, it was agreed that the work of the Board would be concentrated on six key priority areas, one of which is on ‘Access to Services’. In this regard the goal of the Board is ‘to ensure best access to services for the community of Donegal’. As Chairperson of Donegal County Development Board, I am confident that the work contained in both of these documents will go a long way towards achieving an equitable distribution of services across the county in terms of informing the development of local and national plans as well as policy documents’ in both the Statistical and Mapping Documents. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all persons involved in the development of these toolkits including the agencies and officers who actively participated in Donegal County Development Board’s Social Inclusion Measures Group, Donegal County Council’s Social Inclusion Forum, Donegal County Councils Social Inclusion Unit and finally the Research and Policy Unit who undertook this work. There is an enormous challenge ahead for all of us in 2010, in ensuring that services are delivered in a manner that will address the needs of everyone in our community, especially the key vulnerable groups outlined in this document. I would urge all of the agencies, with a social inclusion remit in the county, to take cognisance of these findings with the end goal of creating a more socially inclusive society in Donegal in the future.

As custodians of the collective memory of the county, genealogy or family history resources are important library services. Genealogy plays an important role in how we view ourselves, our history and the connections we have around the world. Genealogy makes history come alive because when people learn about their ancestors they are able to make connections to history. This booklet provides a brief introduction to the family history records available within the Library, Archives and Museum Services of Donegal County Council. It will also guide those interested in tracing their family tree to other online resources and give the contact details of other agencies that can help in their research. This booklet has been funded by Donegal County Council’s Hands of History – One Donegal, Many Pasts, One Future project. Hands of History is supported by the European Union’s European Regional Development Fund through the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation, led by Donegal County Council under the auspices of the Donegal County Development Board’s Peace and Reconciliation Partnership. Hands of History aims to develop an understanding of how key events in our history were experienced by different communities within the county and how these historical legacies have contributed to relationships today.
